produced by pat fitzgerald at 10th planet studio

as i watch your boat receding all that i can see
through the fog some final gestures floating back to me
the frightened hours that came before
fear has faded now you're far from this rocky shore

flailing arms and wailing sirens chill me to the bone
some things make it ship to shore and some remain unknown
the frantic truth always prevails
the ocean swallows all the small details

waves come crashing all around me, come from far away
wayward ships on traitor currents pulling them astray
and here i sit so patiently
i belong right here where you should never be

as i watch your boat receding all that i can see
is an ever-smaller figure and a larger sea

back to secret grey city.
